MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) – With former President Clinton sitting courtside next to team owner Micky Arison, Wade and James did not disappoint as the Miami Heat dazzled the Orlando Magic 90-78.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 points, LeBron James had 25 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists to lead their team to a sixth consecutive victory.

Udonis Haslem scored 10 for the Heat. The 12-point final margin Sunday was Miami's smallest during its current winning streak.
Wade made 13 of 23 shots from the floor, shooting 50 percent or better for the 10th straight game.
During the game, James apparently got too close for two young fans' comfort Sunday.
The star small forward's momentum inadvertently carried him into a row of courtside seats during the third quarter of his team's game against the Orlando Magic. James ran out to defend a 3-point attempt taken by Orlando's Ryan Anderson, leaping to contest the shot. As he landed, he tumbled into the seats and atop two young boys.
The boys were not injured, though appeared briefly shaken. A Heat employee approached the boys and the two adults sitting with them, and was told that everyone was fine.
Heat forward Udonis Haslem nearly went into the same area of stands in the fourth quarter. The boys didn't even flinch that time, as adults around them broke into laughter.
J.J. Redick, who was a late addition to the Orlando starting lineup after Jason Richardson was scratched with chest pain, scored 17 points.
